Book Fundamental Studies of Shock Driven Hydrodynamic Instabilities

Download or read book Fundamental Studies of Shock Driven Hydrodynamic Instabilities written by Yu Liang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-09-09 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illustrates the latest progress on the hydrodynamic instabilities induced by a shock wave, particularly RM (Richtmyer–Meshkov) instability. The hydrodynamic instabilities play crucial roles in various industrial and scientific fields, such as inertial confinement fusion, supersonic combustion, supernova explosion, etc. This book experimentally and theoretically explores the shock-driven instabilities of complex gas-gas and gas-liquid interfaces. The main difficulty in performing an experimental study on RM instability, especially in a shock-tube circumstance, lies in creating an idealized initial interface because the RM instability is extremely sensitive to the initial condition. This book introduces new experimental methods to generate shape-controllable two-dimensional gaseous interfaces, thickness-controllable gas layers, and water droplets embedded with a vapour bubble in the shock-tube experiments. It covers the latest experiments and theories on the shock-driven hydrodynamic instabilities of multi-mode, multi-layer, and multi-phase interfaces. It explores the effects of the mode-competition, interface-coupling, and phase-transition on interface evolution, respectively. This book establishes a universal nonlinear theory to predict the RM instability of a shocked multi-mode interface based on spectrum analysis. This book quantifies the effects of interface-coupling and reverberating waves on the hydrodynamic instabilities of a shocked multi-layer interface. This book provides the experimental studies of the interaction of a shock wave and a multi-phase droplet and proposes a modified Rayleigh-Plesset equation to predict the vapour bubble collapse inside a droplet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The instability of fluid flows is a key topic in classical fluid mechanics because it has huge repercussions for applied disciplines such as chemical engineering, hydraulics, aeronautics, and geophysics. This modern introduction is written for any student, researcher, or practitioner working in the area, for whom an understanding of hydrodynamic instabilities is essential. Based on a decade's experience of teaching postgraduate students in fluid dynamics, this book brings the subject to life by emphasizing the physical mechanisms involved. The theory of dynamical systems provides the basic structure of the exposition, together with asymptotic methods. Wherever possible, Charru discusses the phenomena in terms of characteristic scales and dimensional analysis. The book includes numerous experimental studies, with references to videos and multimedia material, as well as over 150 exercises which introduce the reader to new problems.

Book Weighted Essentially Non Oscillatory Simulations and Modeling of Complex Hydrodynamic Flows  Part 2  Single Mode Richtmyer Meshkov Instability with Reshock

Download or read book Weighted Essentially Non Oscillatory Simulations and Modeling of Complex Hydrodynamic Flows Part 2 Single Mode Richtmyer Meshkov Instability with Reshock written by O. Schilling and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Richtmyer-Meshkov instability is a fundamental fluid instability that occurs when perturbations on an interface separating gases with different properties grow following the passage of a shock. This instability is typically studied in shock tube experiments, and constitutes a fundamental example of a complex hydrodynamic flow. Numerical simulations and models for the instability growth and evolution have also been used to further understand the physics of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability. In the present work, the formally high-order accurate weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) shock-capturing method using a third-order total-variation diminishing (TVD) Runge-Kutta time-evolution scheme (as implemented in the HOPE code [57]) is applied to simulate the single-mode Richtmyer-Meshkov instability with reshock in two spatial dimensions. The initial conditions and computational domain for the simulations are modeled after the Collins and Jacobs [23] single-mode, Mach 1.21 air(acetone)/SF6 shock tube experiment. The following boundary conditions are used: (1) periodic in the spanwise direction corresponding to the cross-section of the test section; (2) outflow at the entrance of the test section in the streamwise direction, and; (3) reflecting at the end wall of the test section in the streamwise direction. The present investigation has three principal motivations: (1) to provide additional validation of the HOPE code against available experimental data; (2) to provide numerical simulation data for detailed analysis of mixing induced by the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability with reshock, and; (3) to systematically investigate the dependence of mixing properties on both the order of WENO reconstruction and spatial resolution. The present study constitutes the first comprehensive application of the high-resolution WENO method to the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability with reshock, as well as analysis of the resulting mixing. First, analytical, semi-analytical, and phenomenological models for the growth of a single- and multi-mode perturbation are reviewed (impulsive, vortex, perturbation, potential flow, and asymptotic power-law growth models), including models for diffuse and reshocked interfaces. A model for baroclinic circulation deposition is also reviewed. Numerical simulations are performed using the third-, fifth-, and ninth-order WENO method with spatial resolutions corresponding to a uniform grid with 128, 256, and 512 points per initial perturbation wavelength. The density from the fifth- and ninth-order simulation is compared to the corrected experimental PLIF images of Collins and Jacobs at selected times. The amplitude obtained from the fifth-order simulation at a resolution of 256 points per initial perturbation wavelength is compared to the experimental data of Collins and Jacobs and to the predictions of linear and nonlinear amplitude growth models before and after reshock. The prediction of the Zhang-Sohn nonlinear amplitude growth model is in best agreement with the simulation data prior to reshock. The simulation data is also in excellent agreement with the experimentally-measured amplitude prior to reshock. The absence of the initial rarefaction wave (resulting from the rupture of the membrane that generates the first shock in the experiment) in the numerical simulations results in a time lag between the numerical and experimental interface evolution following reshock. The results of this component of the present investigation also serve as an additional validation of the HOPE code as applied to a shock-induced hydrodynamic instability. Second, local and global properties of the mixing during the linear, nonlinear, pre- and post-reshock, and late-time phases are investigated and discussed, including a quantitative investigation of the time-dependence and structure of various related mixing parameters defined in terms of the mole fraction and one-dimensional energy spectra. Spatial averaging of quantities along the spanwise (periodic) flow direction yields streamwise profiles, and is used to define instantaneous Reynolds and Favre averages and fluctuations. The fluctuations are Fourier-transformed along the spanwise direction to define time-dependent energy (abstract truncated).

Book Computational Methods in Multiphase Flow VII

Download or read book Computational Methods in Multiphase Flow VII written by C. A. Brebbia and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2013-07-03 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiphase flows are found in all areas of technology, at all length scales and flow regimes and can involve compressible or incompressible linear or nonlinear, fluids. However, although they are ubiquitous, multiphase flows continue to be one of the most challenging areas of computational mechanics, with numerous problems as yet unsolved. Advanced computational and experimental methods are often required to solve the equations that describe such complex problems. The many challenges that must be faced in solving them include modelling nonlinear fluids, modelling and tracking interfaces, dealing with multiple length scales, characterising phase structures, and treating drop break-up and coalescence. It is important to validate models, which calls for the use of expensive and difficult experimental techniques.This book presents contributions on the latest research in the techniques for solving multiphase flow problems, presented at the seventh in a biennial series of conferences on the subject that began in 2001. Featured topics include: Flow in porous media; Turbulent flow; Multiphase flow simulation; Image processing; Heat transfer; Atomization; Interface behaviour; Oil and gas applications; Experimental measurements; Energy applications; Biological flows; Micro and macro fluids; Compressible flows.

Book The Physics of Laser Plasmas and Applications   Volume 1

Download or read book The Physics of Laser Plasmas and Applications Volume 1 written by Hideaki Takabe and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-28 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The series of books discusses the physics of laser and matter interaction, fluid dynamics of high-temperature and high-density compressible plasma, and kinetic phenomena and particle dynamics in laser-produced plasma. The book (Vol.1) gives the physics of intense-laser absorption in matter and/or plasma in non-relativistic and relativistic laser-intensity regime. In many cases, it is explained with clear images of physics so that an intuitive understanding of individual physics is possible for non-specialists. For intense-laser of 1013-16 W/cm2, the laser energy is mainly absorbed via collisional process, where the oscillation energy is converted to thermal energy by non-adiabatic Coulomb collision with the ions. Collisionless interactions with the collective modes in plasma are also described. The main topics are the interaction of ultra-intense laser and plasma for the intensity near and over 1018W/cm2. In such regime, relativistic dynamics become essential. A new physics appears due to the relativistic effects, such as mass correction, relativistic nonlinear force, chaos physics of particle motions, and so on. The book provides clearly the theoretical base for challenging the laser-plasma interaction physics in the wide range of power lasers. It is suitable as a textbook for upper-undergraduate and graduate students as well as for readers who want to understand the whole physics structure about what happen when an intense-laser irradiates any materials including solids, gas etc. Explaining the physics intuitively without complicated mathematics, it is also a valuable resource for engineering students and researchers as well as for self-study.
